Hi
I am from England and have recently started quilting,
My daughter is doing a degree course in fashion at university and frequently uses swatches in her colour pallets. Hence we ended up with loads of swatch fabric and nothing to do with it all. Then I had a brainwave Ill sew it all together and make a quilt (never done this before, never used a machine either) so onto the internet I go this is how I do all my learning you tube is invaluable, and hey presto 3 days later a beautiful quilt (big pat on the back).
Now I’m hooked cant do enough, I think I’m developing O.C.D.
For fabric I just can’t stop. Been doing it three months and now have completed 10 quilts and have three on the go at the moment. What shall I do with them all? My book shelf is getting heavy and my stash is growing into a mountain.
But I am happy happy happy.

Welcome, the quilts are beautiful. Ask your local hospitol or rehabilitation center if they would like the quits. Also. if you attend church they may know someone in need.

Thank you all so much, I have given a couple as Birthday gifts so far, I think your idea of giving them to charity is great. Does anyone know of any third world projects that I could send them to?
